C\u00f3mo seleccionar ayudas para la movilidad Cosas a tener en cuenta a la hora de elegir una.<\/p>\n
In order to pick out the right mobility device, a full account of the person\u2019s requirements, their medical history and environment must be considered.\u00a0If you get the right device it will assist, mitigate risks and support the independence of the user.<\/p>\n
Edad, estado f\u00edsico, niveles de movilidad.
Choosing mobility aids is one of the most crucial decisions you will ever make.\u00a0It is not only the specific illnesses that need different types of help.<\/p>\n
For the less mobile, or those with injuries, walking aides (canes, crutches, or walkers) can be sufficient.\u00a0They enable people to walk, stay stable and avoid falling.<\/p>\n
For those who require continuous care, or who cannot even walk, wheelchairs, both manual and powered, are necessary.\u00a0Manual wheelchairs can be great for those with the right arm strength, and powered wheelchairs or scooters are appropriate for those with more independence but lack the upper body power to push a manual chair.<\/p>\n
If the user wants occasional mobility but not always a regular wheelchair, a mobility scooter can be just the thing.\u00a0The mobility scooters are mainly ideal for those who require long-distance support, both indoors and out.<\/p>\n
Requisitos de entorno y uso
The environment in which the device will be applied influences which mobility aid would work best for the user.\u00a0If you think about if the user will be using mostly indoors or outdoors, or they will need both, then ask yourself:.<\/p>\n
: In-doors: If you\u2019re doing most of your movement in-doors, manual wheelchairs, walkers and canes are enough.\u00a0These machines are lightweight, simple to use, and can occupy narrow entranceways and hallways.<\/p>\n
Outside: Mobility scooters and powered wheelchairs are better options for long-distance transportation or if you want to use the mobility scooters for outdoor paths or sidewalks.\u00a0They\u2019re more stable and comfortable to use for longer periods of time, and most of them feature things such as variable speed and better suspension in difficult environments.<\/p>\n
Mixed Environment: If the user wants an aid that is good for both inside and outside, then folding manual wheelchairs or lightweight walkers might be better.\u00a0They\u2019re lightweight and can be used on the occasional outside, but also storing and moving around indoors.<\/p>\n
Comodidad y ajuste
Comfort is important for those who are going to be using their mobility aid frequently.\u00a0Uncomfortable use of mobility aids for too long can cause discomfort, pressure sores or even permanent harm.<\/p>\n
Mobility cushions are a must have for both powered and manual wheelchairs.\u00a0Such cushions also evenly spread the weight and ease the pressure for those who are in the wheelchair for long hours.\u00a0There are designs, fabrics, and depths of cushion, so distributors can choose one according to their needs.<\/p>\n
There must also be pivot points in mobility aids.\u00a0For instance, wheelchairs that come with reclining foot rests, arm rests and backrests can allow people to seat in the way that suits them best.\u00a0A few walkers and rollators come in height adjustable models for various body shapes and greater ergonomic assistance.<\/p>\n
Posture and Support: Most mobility devices (in wheelchairs and scooters, for example) have ergonomic seating, lumbar support and recline functions for a good posture.\u00a0It is not only more comfortable but it also saves you from additional health issues such as back pain or muscle sprain.<\/p>\n
Portabilidad y facilidad de transporte
La portabilidad es muy importante para cualquier persona que viaje a menudo o tenga que transportar su dispositivo de ayuda a la movilidad con frecuencia.<\/p>\n
Folding wheelchairs and walkers are excellent for those that want something that can collapse in a vehicle or be carried on public transport.\u00a0Most manual wheelchairs are also small and fold easily, so they are great for transport.<\/p>\n
If you are a user of a mobility scooter or powered wheelchair, look for lightweight models that have dismantling capabilities.\u00a0There are powered scooters that can be dismantled into smaller bits and carried around easily, which is handy for those of us who need to move around a lot.<\/p>\n
There are even all-terrain scooters and wheelchairs for people who will be going outdoors often or have to drive on both pavements and dirt roads.\u00a0They are heftier but provide better protection and feel for the outdoors.<\/p>\n
Caracter\u00edsticas de seguridad
Safety is a main consideration when considering mobility devices.\u00a0The perfect mobility aid will give you safety, so you don\u2019t get injured if you fall over.\u00a0There should be anti-tip systems, braking systems, and footrests for the protection of the user.<\/p>\n
Anti-tip equipment is also important for people in manual wheelchairs or scooters.\u00a0They stop the wheelchair turning backward when the user bends or puts their weight on it.<\/p>\n
You need brakes for every mobility device.\u00a0Powerful wheels for powered wheelchairs and scooters should have effective brakes, while the manual wheelchair must have safe and easy to use hand brakes for stopping.<\/p>\n
Los reposapi\u00e9s deben ser extra\u00edbles y seguros, para que te mantengan firme y no te dejen caer de la silla.<\/p>\n
Coste y cobertura del seguro
Cost is a factor of course, but also be sure to ask if the mobility device is insured.\u00a0Most mobility aids like wheelchairs, scooters, lifts, etc., might be covered by health insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare, depending on the patient\u2019s condition.<\/p>\n
When shopping for one, make sure to inquire if the mobility aid is insured.\u00a0What\u2019s more, you should also think about how durable and upkeep the machine will be in the long term.
Conclusi\u00f3n<\/p>\n
The right mobility aid for the disabled person should be an informed and customized decision based on the user\u2019s mobility requirements, way of life, and environment.\u00a0The distributors and dealers can educate their customers about the right options by taking into account the user\u2019s medical history, environment in which the machine is to be placed, ease and sizing, portability, safety and price.<\/p>\n
Los distribuidores pueden suministrar opciones personalizables de ayudas a la movilidad, desde sillas de ruedas manuales y el\u00e9ctricas hasta scooters de movilidad y andadores, para ayudar a sus clientes a llevar una vida mejor.<\/p>\n
